SEMA provides relief materials

The Gombe State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has provided relief materials for victims of Sunday’s morning flood at Wuro-Dole in Akko Local Government.

The SEMA Relief and Rehabilitation Officer, Mohammed Garba, who presented the materials yesterday, said they were at the village the previous day to take stock of the damage and sympathise with the victims.

He said the agency’s findings showed that the flood affected 46 houses.

Garba, who spoke on behalf of the SEMA Executive Secretary, Dr. Danlami Arabs Rukujei, urged the people not to see the relief materials as compensating their losses, but an attempt to meet their needs.
